Build from source

Download the source tarball for Unix-like systems: here

Get and install GHC 7.4.2 prior to building the platform:

Finally, unpack the Haskell Platform source tarball, and run (possibly with 'sudo'):

    ./configure
    make
    make install

You may pass --prefix flag to ./configure to change the default install path.

There is also a README file in the tarball with more detailed information on building.
